My 2016 M235i is now calling for an oil change. Got an email from BMW that the car phoned home and asked for an oil change. I checked the idrive and it does say its ready for an oil change. The car only has 2400 miles on it and when I start the engine it says "service due in 8000 miles." Could this oil change just be due to time not mileage? I bought the car on Dec31, 2015 so I'm at the year mark. I didn't think they did time based oil changes. I do almost all city driving in steamy Hotlanta.

I changed the oil myself at 1200 miles for break in.
